500ml bottle. Slightly cloudy, reddish, dark amber colour with average to huge, thick, frothy to creamy, fairly lasting, moderately lacing, off-white to beige head. Citrusy and piney, hoppy aroma, notes of grapefruit, orange, orange zest. Taste is crisp bitter hoppy, citrusy fruity, notes of grapefruit, lemon, orange, mandarine, resin, caramel malty basis with almond touch. Classy, excellent.

Bottle from my SAQ import. Pours a hazy amber colour with a beige frothy head, great retention and foamy lacing. Aromas of brown sugars, grass, raisins and mild citrus. Fruity malt taste with the bitterness being smooth and the mouthfeel, not really dry. Goes down very well overall because of this. The nose is kind of weird, but the mouth is smooth, so it is a pretty good Impy IPA.

Keg at Craft Beer Co Islington; hazy dark amber with a thin beige head, big citrus aroma, taste has caramel, grapefruit, tangerine, certainly can’t taste the big ABV.

Draft @ Hoppy Loft. Orangée, col beige voire blanc cassé. Arôme est houblonné sur des pointes de résineux voire d’aiguilles de pin, le malté restant quant à lui plus en retrait. Palais est aussi axé sur le houblonné, résineux, malt caramel sur un léger fleuri et herbacé ponctué par de fines notes agrumes avec un fini clairement orienté liquoreux indiquant un résiduel sucré. Au fini l’alcool se fait bien ressentir, une version plus légère aurait été plus judicieuse.

@ hoppy loft, thnx to ships . Pours amber, rather unclear . Small white head . Intense bitter taste . Fruity , pine and bit sweet ( sugar ? ) feels too intense on the ABV . Ok

Thanks! Sampled draft @ Delirium Hoppy Loft. Dark amber, little white head. Thick resin grapefruit peel, touch brown sugar, herbal,..; Bitter herbal & pine resin taste, sweet malty, strong on odd herbal taste, thick malts,… Same for body. I’m not the biggest fan of this strong bitter herbal taste & herbal pine resin, still I did quite enjoy it. Neat but not stellar.

Pelna paleta smakowa i zapachowa od arbuza melon po ananasa oraz rozowe grejfruty. Slodowosc w smaku bogata ale gorycz i owocowosc w piwie mocno rownowazy. Piwo mocne czuje sie je w glowie, lecz nawet odrobiny jej mocy sie nie wyczuwa. Piekny kolor dosc ciemny braz z ciemna czerwienia, spora piana oblepiajaca szklo, bezowa jest bardzo trwala. Super piwo.

Just opening this bottle was amazing. The tropical fruity aroma just hit you like a rock. Really pleasant and lovely rich tropical fruity. Also some flowery and caramel notes after a while. Maybe not so good for the eye. Cloudy brownish golden color with a off white head. Good lacing though. Medium + body. Not as sweet as expected and off course a rich bitterness. Quite good carbonation in this one. Helped it stay fresh a bit longer. Flavor….probably a bit overripe fruity. Malty and hoppy. Some alcohol when it got warmer. Overall a very powerful and balanced ale. Recommendable.
